"(Especially) given who's involved and outrageous statements made. That aside, like someone else said, how about we refocus on some of the serious issues that need attention in this city? Issue acknowledged and apology given."

Lol what did he mean by this tho

As Darren notes: a standalone plebiscite would cost $12mil (compared to the $16mil spent on the most recent municipal election) 😬 #yyccc #yyc

Menorahs: it’s not always the thing

lol this is hilarious but I just want to take this moment to brag about my own attention to detail when I did political communications: ensuring that our Rosh Hashanah greeting didn’t have a menorah unlike several other politicians. It was pomegranates and shofars all the way.

How to Think Critically About Data (Even if you're not a data nerd like me) A free 45-minute Lunch & Learn session with Robson Fletcher, Data & Storytelling Strategist. Topics include: - How statistics & data visualization can mislead -- intentionally or accidentally - Practical tips for evaluating data you are presented with - Why feelings DO matter when it comes to facts Tuesday, March 17 12:00 p.m. to 12:45 p.m. Via Google Meet (pre-registration required)

I'm no longer a data journalist but, as an independent practitoner, one of my goals is still to help people make sense of the daily deluge of data we're all swimming in.

To that end, I'm hosting this free online session on March 17.

You don't have to be a nerd to come nerd out with me... 🤓

Sigh.

City administration shows other impacts the provincial budget is anticipated to have on Calgary.

Affordable housing, and an increase to the grants the province pays in lieu of property taxes. There's also funding for "partner infrastructure" like schools, post-secondaries.

Here's a look at what the City of Calgary included in its budget submission to the provincial government last year, and what was included in the province's budget tabled last week.

(It would cost us some $$$, I guess.)

I am unsure what this would do. Or what the question could even be, when #yyc is required to collect this tax on behalf of the provincial government as per the Municipal Government Act. Municipalities in Alberta exist at the whim of provincial legislation. #yyccc

I think both C/Kourtneys from the last #yyccc were in that class too heh

Once again thanking @paulisci.bsky.social for his lovely and comprehensive Municipal Government cont ed class from a few years ago. I think I was in the same cohort as both Global Adams when there were two Adams 😂 #yyccc

More details soon. Big things are rolling out.🚲

Ahahaha he did it! podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/a...

Hey, neighbour! Today, members of the Executive Committee unanimously voted in favour of my Notice of Motion, which would increase transparency around the costs that Calgary taxpayers are covering for areas of provincial responsibility. With this motion passed, it will now go to the next regular meeting of council. There, I hope to see continued support from councillors as we work to ensure greater transparency and fairness in areas of shared responsibility. With council support, my motion will deliver a report for Calgarians that outlines how much Calgary taxpayers are paying and the gap between those payments and the reimbursements from the provincial government.

Today was a win for transparency and fairness for Calgary's taxpayers.

NEW: The City of Calgary expects work on the Bearspaw feeder main to cost $439M:

New pipe: $381M
Reinforcements: $40M
Slip line in existing pipe: $18M

$71M is already approved, and project needs council to approve $367.4M to fully fund it.

We can even still be an energy economy but like an *all-energy* economy bsky.app/profile/aman...

👇🏻 Also true for #yyc

Would love love love to have a diversified economy instead of a petrostate

Any discussion of time changes is like the bat signal to my old psychology professor who specializes in circadian rhythm. Hope to see Dr Antle back in the media cycle this time around heheh torontosun.com/news/nationa...

Have Alberta’s finances gone off the rails?

Trevor Tombe, “Alberta’s reliance on resource revenues is higher today than under any premier since Don Getty (excluding COVID-19)”

Not population increase but policies to blame!

Yeah Alberta is the measles capital of North America so mask stays on for me haha

Conservative political staffers basically run on Zyn so this tracks

We must have the same flavour of doom brain because I always go to the same place: that people will exist in the future to look back at now is not a given.

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

Seriously, they literally give us the stuff that makes our immune system stop working! What the heck?
